As we are limited in what we can bring to the merchandising booth at the mesh + apop show, we have decided to give fans the chance to pre-order some merchandising. So they are sure they get the items they want.
So place your order now at www.meshstore.co.uk and Merchandising Queen Wendy will bring your order to Sweden. You can pick it up at the merch booth and of course you don’t pay any shipping cost!
To avoid any confusion about who paid already and who didn’t, we only accept pre-payments using Paypal or Credit Card for these pre-orders.

Please note that the stock of female cut Tshirts is very limited at the moment. If you want one, we recommend to use the pre-order option.

World Diabetes Day is the World’s largest diabetes awareness campaign. It is marked every year on the 14th of November.

Mesh are affected by diabetes both within our families and our tour crew and that is why we have decided to actively support this campaign, helping in a small way to raise awareness of this life changing disease.

That’s why we are selling blue bracelets. The blue bracelet references the blue circle, the global symbol for diabetes awareness. It signifies the unity of the global diabetes community, and is a response to the rising number of people affected by diabetes.

For the inscription of the bracelet we chose the lyric “can’t we be the ones to turn it around?” taken from the song Let Them Crush Us. This seemed appropriate – diabetes research is helping to turn the treatment of this disease around and more awareness as to the scale of the problem will help the lives of millions.

Besides the bracelets we also offer special editions of the popular Involved shirt. By request, you can choose your own colour.

In case you haven’t heard it yet, the first show in Berlin is sold out and the one in Frankfurt nearly. So we have added 2 extra shows to the Involved tour. And for you, early birds, you get a DISCOUNT on the tickets for those extra shows. But only for those ordering in August and using the link below. No hesitations!

And more good news. We can finally confirm MESH will play at the Black Celebration Festival in London. The iconic Industrial Electro Festival that began in 1999 in London Astoria 2 returns! BLACK CELEBRATION was the first UK event to bring together the finest industrial, EBM, Darkwave and synth acts under one roof, now it’s back and bigger than ever. Other acts on the bill are DAF, The Young Gods and our friends from Empathy Test. Tickets can be bought here.

We absolutely love “wear a mesh shirt day”. A few years ago a small group of fans started this as a publicity stunt for mesh. Since then, it has grown into an annual event with more than 150 participants. Maybe you participated too? If not, you now have an extra chance to display your mesh shirt.
For the upcoming tour we are collecting pictures of fans showing of their mesh shirts, hats, bags,… and use them in a video shown on stage during the show. Kind of what we did in 2006. You might remember that?
How to participate? Send us your picture and mention the show you will be attending. We will make a seperate video for each show. So get involved and send your picture to photos@mesh.co.uk.

To celebrate 25 years of mesh and the upcoming Involved-Tour, we decided to take a retrospective look at some of the mesh merchandise of the early days. The original technology shirt was printed in a limited blue edition and a regular red edition. For the production of this 2018 version, we decided to do it the other way around. The ltd red edition is only available by pre order at www.meshstore.co.uk. At the request of many fans this shirt is available from size XS up to 5XL. Order yours before 20th of July!

Involved, it’s not just the title of a mesh song or Mark’s signature. We are very lucky and grateful to have such an amazing involved fanbase. The annual “Wear a mesh shirt – Day”, the liking and sharing on social media, the trips a lot of you make to attend a show,… it proves we do have the best fans in the world, our friends like these.

The upcoming tour is one for you. For 25 years of support, for 25 years of involvement. We want want this tour to be for and by fans. Facebook polls tell us which songs you would like to hear. And we hope to be able to play as much as possible form your shortlist. From greatest hits to rarities.

But there is more. We want to give you the chance to earn free tickets for one of the Involved shows. The promotors agreed to give away 2 free original hard-tickets to fans helping out to promote the tour. You live in the area of one of the tour cities (up to 40 km)? And you want to spend a few hours promoting the local show? Join the mesh street team! Our promotor will send you a package of flyers to distribute . Send us a picture of your involvement in the mesh street team and we will send you the tickets and a tour poster for your bedroom wall.

To celebrate our 25th band anniversary, we have come up with something very special: We present a colourful mix of our work to date, starting with “Fragile” in the mid-1990s and ending with the last single “Runway”. On top of that also popular B-sides and other rarities will make the setlist.

The re-release of the popular 1999 album “The point at which it falls apart”, remastered and provided with extras via Dependent (Al!ve) is planned right before start of the tour.

“Involved – the MESH retrospective tour 2018” invites you on stages in Germany!

“You couldn’t see this coming” was recorded live at the Gothic meets Klassik Festival in Leipzig. It’s one of the tracks on the new album “Mesh – Live at neues Gewandhaus Leipzig”. The new album will be released on 24. November. You can already check out a snippet of this song on YouTube.

So just before we started the Looking Skyward Tour, a good friend of ours Guido Braun pitched an idea of a “Old School” tour program to use to sell at the shows. After seeing his initial pictures and layout from the previous shows he attended, we granted him access to any of the shows he wanted just to collect as much material as possible to catalogue the tour with candid images.
A few months later he presented us with a book. We were absolutely blown away with the quality. This lead to the additional idea of making this a full colour book documenting our career as a band. So much digging in our archives for Pictures, Setlists, Flyers, Info sheets, posters and Lyrics etc.. “Looking Backward” was born.
The book now contains loads of unseen pictures right from the early beginnings to the present day. Pictures from our own private collections, A huge section of live pictures from a fans view point, Discography, Studio pictures and equipment list etc….
Who would have ever thought we would be releasing a book 🙂
